I've been listening to Caedmon's Call's album "Overdressed" today. It has been breathing life into me - or rather, God is using it to breath life into me.

A couple of songs especially:

Need Your Love

Your love is a heart that’s beating
Your love is an angel’s wings
Your love is a boat that sails on a never-ending breeze
Your love is a sunset fire
Your love is a melody
Your love is the grace that brings the sinner to his knees

I need your love, your love
I need your love to stay with me

Your love is a newborn laughing
A fire in the winter’s cold
Your love is the bread and wine that breaks to make me whole
Your love is a king returning
Beneath the banner of victory
Your love is the chains of a prisoner finally falling free

I need your love, your love
I need your love to stay with me

You can change my name
You can make me someone new
Love is always a promise
And your promises are true

I need your love, your love
I need your love to stay with me

I need your love when the flames consume me
I need it when my heart breaks
I need it as a still small voice
When the earth around me shakes

Sacred (I know I've shared this before and now I am rediscovering it)

the children are sleeping

but they’re running through my mind

the sun makes them happy

and the music makes them unwind

my cup runneth over

and I worry about the stain

teach me to run to You

like they run to me for every little thing

when I forget to drink from you

I can feel the banks harden

Lord, make me like a stream

to feed the garden

wake up, little sleeper

the Lord, God Almighty

made your Mama keeper

so rise and shine

rise and shine cause

everything is sacred

and all this time

everything I’ve dreamed of

has been right before my eyes

Also, Elijah is doing much better. That was our longest sickness to date. I called the doctor on call at our clinic twice and got great advice. So now he just has a little stuffy nose. But this week there was a lot of tylenol, fluids, sleeping and movies. The rest of us are at various stages of colds but no one with a fever like Elijah had. Thanking God for that.

That's all for now.
